Great Field Guide to the Snakes of Texas

One of my favorite field guides that I own. It is written in a way that makes it useful to everyone, from the person with a casual interest in snakes to professional herpetologists. The range maps are especially useful and well drawn. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in snakes, especially those who are looking for a field guide to help with the identification of various snake species found throughout Texas.

Review service of "Texas Snakes"

We received the book in good shape. It was everything as advertised from the seller. The book itself contains an excellent method of allowing a person to "key out" a snake for an exact identification.

Texas Snakes: A Field Guide (Texas Natural History Guides)

This is a must have book for everyone that lives in Texas whether you are into snakes or not. I've refered many to this book just to identify snakes in their yards, and is a must have when hiking or camping. I have an older version that looks like it's been thru the washing machine because I've used it so much. When this newest edition came out, I had to have it, and was pleasantly surpised with a few additions such as current Texas laws and regulations concerning reptiles. It's field guide size makes it perfect to throw into your glove box or backpack to keep handy. It has great pictures, discriptions, and ranges of every single snake in the state of Texas. Buy and enjoy!
